The article discussed the findings of a “nine-month Associated Press investigation of state-sponsored disinformation conducted in collaboration with the

A Lockdown Too Far?

A Lockdown Too Far?

How much longer will Victorians continue to #StandWithDan? In what can only be regarded as a mass-outbreak of Stockholm Syndrome, Victorians responded to being placed under virtual house-arrest, due entirely to the astonishing ineptitude of the Andrews government, by loudly cheering for the corrupt clowns who locked them up – and

While the left-media in Australia particularly credit Ardern with everything short of walking across the Tasman Sea, the inconvenient truth is that Ardern is simply

The NZ Media’s Paymaster

In China, North Korea and Russia they have state-controlled media which, as a result, are obliged to report only what is sanctioned by the State. New Zealand once had an independent media which would investigate events and report their findings without State intervention or censorship. Tragically, no longer. Our Government,
